This session took me back to the good old days of Design Tech. We were given a net shape and had to construct it, however the net was wrong in both the book and the printed copy we had. This meant that the box did not properly fit together. This in some ways is an important lesson, always double check and test your prototype before commercially producing. If it worked as it should it would be good packaging for a toy as it has a window display. Pictures below.
After this a task was given to construct and deconstruct the existing Wye Valley packaging, analysing the pro's and con's of the design. The packaging uses no glue. It is very heavy in terms of the ink used making this probably less recyclable. However even though the cardboard is not reused it is relatively thick so will stand more wear and tear essentially lasting longer than your average packaging. I believe it is an effective material to use.
